Treatment Options for Breast Cancer
The treatment plan for breast cancer, like all cancers, depends on each individual case. At SOMC, a team of physicians discuss each case and determine the most appropriate treatment course.
In general, treatment options for breast cancer may include surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy. Your doctor will discuss these options in detail. For more information, contact the SOMC Cancer Center. Our professionals can help you every step of the way, from diagnosis through treatment and recovery.
